(nanci griffith)
i know you believe in miracles
and that this love will come back around
i know you believe the grass is growing
across this winter
to the south of this town
i know your kiss is sweeter
than the dust that this love has become
yet, i know your path is clearer
shed of me... out there on your own
[chorus:]
i don't pretend to sound ungrateful
you've given love when i had none
my feet have tread upon the road you're on
and i know it's not my way home
i know... it's not my way home
i know... it's not my way home
you know... this love has left us
don't count the years... it took a long time to kill
i know you will find a place for memories
and you'll be out there runnin... i will be here to be still |
